New Market Research Report: Baby Food in Australia

The annual number of births in Australia rose up to 2012, providing a boost to sales, but has subsequently fallen, restricting sales potential. All sectors, except drinks, have experienced some growth during the review period, the cereals and snacks sector in particular proving dynamic with an overall increase of 100%. Milks represent the largest proportion of baby food sales, accounting for 45% of volume in 2015. Wet meals, on the other hand, have seen a decline in their share since a peak in 2011, and in 2015 accounted for 29% of retail sales. Drinks have never been very popular and have lost further share over the past few years, with the result that in 2015 they claimed under 1% of retail sales.
